Truth as lived, truth as a way of life— that is missing in today's understanding of truth as information, as correspondence to the facts, as data and the transmission of data. Some truths are silent, demanding a response from the whole person, requiring action and not conceptual representation. And perhaps this means equating the true and the good: ideas that are held apart in this schizophrenic age, stuck between scientific objectivism and social justice moralism.
The law of non-contradiction seems especially important to truth and goodness: "a way of life in which there is no gap between what one says, and what one does." This seems to be the beginning of wisdom, as it means not believing that which cannot be lived.
Thanks for the read, Tolma. The references are a help, too.
